Hi, all! I hope this week has been as good for you as it has for me. I enjoyed the company of my youngest sister, her husband and one of her two daughters for several days, and am still relishing a visit from my mom- 88 years young! Just as the weather is changing in most parts of the country, we are getting our version of autumn in SW Florida-- slightly cooler nights, lower humidity, and fewer rain showers. It makes for a much more pleasant time doing outdoor chores (in summer my favorite outdoor activity involves being in the pool), and I have taken advantage of the change to do a little weeding, trimming, and re-potting. I always think of these activities in the same way that I do crafting, achieving pleasure from the beauty of the end result. I'm often bringing plants in- and out-doors, too, so I can enjoy them close up at their most beautiful--orchids and Christmas cacti are prime examples of my seasonal indoor plants-- but some plants just have to stay outdoors. Here is an example of one of those:
What fun for this former New Yorker to be poking around the garden and come upon this! Obviously not something I can bring inside (at least until it's ripe and delicious!), but I was inspired to bring this home from a recent trip to HomeGoods:
Isn't it great? And it was just the color I needed to perk up my reading corner ( see last post).
I love referencing nature in my home and in my crafting. Next project, though, will be a scary reference to nature- my grandson and I are building a skeleton from toilet tissue and paper towel tubes.... I'll be sure to post the pics!
